Find maximum of row, return column name

Question

I have four rows and six columns of random numbers between 1 and 10. The headers atop are named A through F accordingly. I want to populate a range (A1:A6) on another sheet with the maximum number for each row. That is easy with the MAX function. However, in a another range (B1:B6), I want to put the column name to which this number belongs.

An HLOOKUP() won't work because a maximum value in one row is likely not unique number across the entire sheet. I am thinking a MATCH INDEX type function, but my understanding of those functions, especially in conjunction, is poor.

A   B   C   D   E   F
1   0   2   10  9   8
9   3   7   6   9   10
10  3   0   2   1   4
9   4   7   8   6   3

Answer 1

假设您的数组位于Sheet1中并且标记了列，请尝试另一张表格，向下复制以适应（对于 4 行，因为数据中只有四行数字）：< / p>

=INDEX(Sheet1!A$1:F$1,MATCH(MAX(Sheet1!A2:F2),Sheet1!A2:F2,0))  

这将仅返回该行的最大值出现多次的行中的第一个列标签。
